Something of a hutter Of excitement
pervades the leading machinists Of
New-England because it is known that
agents of the French Government are
hereabout buying up machinery with a
liberal, If not lavish. hand. And this
machinery is to be used in the manu-
facture Of arms and ammunition. Thus
far four Of the New England States
have been invaded, and the most
famous producers of iron-working
machinery in the Eastern States Sc
renely contemplate the prospect Of
selling out, in short order, everything
which can be made subservient TO the
manufacture of a weapon OF war.
The French Government proposes to
establish another armory, capable of
turning out, at first, at least 800 perfect
rifles a day. To accomplish this, it is
stated that these ENJOYS are ordering
all Of the available machinery now on
hand in the shops above named. 1t is
understood that the negotiations are
for immediate purchases, and not for
machinery to be made. To make 500
rifles a day will require $4,000 worth
of machinery, and it will cost more
than 100000 in all TO set this motion
for the production of the first 800 guns.

The Size of the Burden.

We yesterday called attention to the fact
that the government exacts more as tax on
tobacco for the home consumption than
foreigners pay for the still larger part OF
the crop exported. How much is 1t ? This
is the twenty.ffth year Of the excise, and 1t
has already placed in our overburdened
treasury more than $T00,000,000. AS only
nine. twentieths Of the product has been
used at home, this is fifty per cent. more
than the farm value Of the portion taxed,
and exceeds by more than hundred mill
ion dollars the export value Of the eleven
twentieths exported, and the farm value Of
1t by hundred and fifty millions. This is
tax Of more than thousand dollars for
twenty five annual crops on each acre cul-
tivated. 1t is more than forty dollars per
acre per annum; it is an annual tax equa
to the whole value of the land at liberal
valuation of forty dollars per acre-an an
nual confiscation Of the land but for that
part Of the burden thrown off upon the con-
sumers. This is certainly heavy punish
ment for cultivating tobacco. No other
product of the farm is taxed at all, no other
restricted, no other prohibited, as this is
virtually in twenty states. Senators and
representatives, is there no extirpation OF
this anomaly within the next ten days?
